Hey HitecRednec, When you converted all your bulbs to LED did you have to replace your flasher fuse to cure the fast-flash. If so, where is it and what part# is the original flasher fuse #. Thanks, I'm looking into this for the thread I started earlier this week.

I bought some generic 55W Load resistors but haven't installed them yet. I was hoping to locate the Flasher unit tomorrow (Sunday 10/09) and hit the parts store with it in hand to buy a heavy duty one that will eliminate the hyper-flash caused by the extremely Low power draw from the LEDs. Just an FYI if you are planning on a custom speaker install with amps etc , unitl there are high output Alternators for or Aveos a nice way to minimize the power draw of the vehicle is to upgrade to LED lights can save alot of amps there by itself. I'm working with Excessive Apmerage for a 350 Amp Alternator with adjustable Voltage output for 13.6 to 20V. I'll let you know when we got it and we can get some pricing for it.

Anyone located the flasher unit for the turn signals in an 09 Aveo 5 Hatchback? I am clueless LOL

i think it is on the top/backside of the fuse block in the door jamb part of the dash.. but that is off the top of my head.
